Dead and Berried by Karen MacInerney - 4 Stars!

 


Developers have returned to Cranberry Island, and they're planning to wipe out a natural cranberry bog to build a luxury subdivision. Natalie Barnes isn't sweet on the idea of commercial interests souring their cozy oasis, but the innkeeper has other problems: a withering relationship with her best friend Charlene, the sudden appearance of her ex-fiancé with a tempting proposal, and eerie bumps in the night. Worst of all, there's a killer on the loose. When Charlene's lover is stabbed to death, Natalie promises to find the murderer for her heartbroken friend, who's also the number-one suspect.

This was a great continuation to a series that I've missed. Natalie is a great cozy character because she's independent, resourceful, and intelligent. The plot is engrossing and enthralling, I couldn't stop turning the pages. Cranberry Island is a great mysterious setting that seems, at times, like another character in the story. I recommend this book to all cozy mystery lovers.
